Abstract

This project investigated how GIS and large datasets can be efficiently and effectively utilised to underpin rural PHC policies relating to workforce planning and service delivery. This research explored the wider application of McGrail’s earlier Australian Index of Access work to guide planning in areas of workforce shortage. McGrail spent time at the Robert Graham Centre in Washington DC; in Chicago with Dr Wei Luo, and at the Cecil G. Sheps Center for Health Services Research at The University of North Carolina.
